Single sheet, upright format, 277 x 195 mm. No early bookplate. Now loose within an early 20th century portfolio folder containing all 10 sections of Mus. 1219, the contents of which were foliated and allocated new call-numbers (including the alphabetic letters A-U) in September 1990, with further minor adjustments made in August 1998. In microfilms made before that date, this sheet is numbered '5' on the verso and '6' on the recto.

Provenance unknown. Not recorded in any early catalogue until Havergal Summary, where it is listed among the Portfolios at position I.2.β, item 4: 'Base part of an anthem by D: Taylor. MS. XVII. cent:'; in Mus. 1219(E) itself, the portfolio reference 'I.2.β' is written in red crayon at the head of the recto.
